Is Jessica Jones's power breaking locks because they really liked showing us how many locks she could break.

I agree that the show got really bad. I was enjoying up until naughty Dr Who bought that house and then it got incredibly stupid and slow.

Honestly though, after the fan receptions of 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, and now Batman vs Superman, I think Snyder needs to face the reality that if he wants to make movies with heavy elements of satire which question underlying philosophical assumptions of the audience that comic book IPs are probably not the place to do it as the primary audience of these movies is evidently not interested.

also cheaper but then again the show really wasn't about superpowers

and the house scene in JJ was the best part in all its creepy glory

Sep 25, 2004

the house scenes were great and the second half of the season had some great moments, but it suffered a lot from the decision to hinge the entire season on the Purple Man storyline and nothing but the Purple Man storyline (or at least the way the chose to approach the storyline)

they just went to the same well too many times without resolving anything, and there weren't interesting B blots unrelated to the main story, so even when you liked what they were doing in individual scenes it just felt like the story wasn't progressing and indeed couldn't progress until the final episodes

they'd have been much better off adding some more normal JJ sleuthing with hints that the Purple Man was creeping around at the start of the season or having an apparent but false resolution to the Purple Man storyline near the midpoint before he came back in the last few episodes

And LMAO at this "fanboy" tribalsm poo poo. I'll watch your superhero movie if it's good, and I fukkin grew up adoring superman and any decent treatment of the character in a well-put together movie would be so my poo poo. I didn't dislike BvS because of the studio logo that played for 5 seconds before the film started, I disliked it because it was goddamn awful and unpleasant to watch.

Here's the thing: These DC fan people look at audiences going "Oh Marvel movies can be pretty good but DC films are poo poo," and they immediately revert back to MARVEL VS DC die-hard stupid comic fandom.

They don't stop to realize DC movies suck not entirely because of the IP but because DC are a bunch of loving idiots, and their movie division is just the worst. They don't want to admit all these "Marvel fans" were perfectly happy to rave about The Dark Knight because it was a good movie, not a loving brand issue.

I also like the level of Barthes-absurdity such that they'll claim Snyder's work is satire even though there's zero indication that anyone involved in any of those films were attempting to do satire (aside from Alan Moore).

Yeah not having really read comics much before, I always wondered what exactly stops people like Cyclops from just soloing everything. All he has to do is look at things and they explode. I prefer the less powerful characters too because their conflicts actually seem credible.

Well, if they're smart, they do research that Cyclops' blasts don't effect him or his brother, and that ruby quartz reflects it with no damage. So, either they get his brother to fight him or make ruby quartz armor and coatings, like what Cameron Hodge did with his army of Smileyface power-armored troops.

they aren't laser beams, they're beams of kinetic force. Basically he can punch anything he can see. It's a good power, but it's hardly overpowered

In the movies he looks at poo poo and laser beams come out and poo poo goes blooie. I don't care what the comics or the cartoon or the supplemental novel say about it, if it's not clear in the movie, it's not clear in the movie universe. Same thing for loving Star Wars or any other bullshit. I like the nerdy stuff, but I try to treat movies with surrounding garbage that 99% of the audience don't give a gently caress about as if I were my grandmother watching this poo poo. That's part of the reason B v S sucks so hard. There's so little context and establishment for every scene that it's just a jumbled mess of trailer shots and boring dialogue scenes.

Do the movies bring up any of this brother or ruby poo poo? I honestly don't remember.

I'm not sure, but ruby quartz is what his glasses and visor's optical elements are made of, so if it's not said, then it's implied, since we know those keep him from blowing everything he sees away. So, it could easily be said that a villain made a set of body armor coated in the same stuff that makes up Cyclops' visor.

I know Havoc does show up in First Class but him and Cyclops don't seem to share screen time at any point.
